[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll pay for a useful degree. If my kids wants to waste four years on a degree that won't land them a job afterwards, well, then they can pay for that themselves. [/quote] That is so incredibly controlling and sad. How do you know what will land them a job or not? I have so many friends with liberal arts degrees who have gotten very wealthy. [/quote] Not PP, but most people I know with lib arts degrees that have gotten wealthy had either a) a degree from an Ivy or b) family connections. So yes, the well connected can do well regardless of degree. The other thing I will add is that the world in not the same. 40 years ago Peter Jennings could walk into a newspaper office and get a job as a journalist, now they won't hire you as an assistant even with a masters from Columbia. So if my kid says he wants to major in journalism, I want him to understand the impact of his decisions. We don't have connections.[/quote]
